Possible hints of New Physics found in a new joint analysis of data from LHCb and other experiments

Global analysis of observables related to rare B decays measured in different experiments such as LHCb, Belle and preliminary results from ATLAS and CMS shows a discrepancy with the Standard Model at five standard deviations.

T2K presents hint of CP violation by neutrinos

The international T2K Collaboration strengthened its previous hint that the symmetry between matter and antimatter may be violated for neutrino oscillation. A preliminary analysis of T2K’s latest data rejects the hypothesis that neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate with the same probability at 95% confidence (2σ) level

Prime candidate to explain cosmic ray sea runs short of energy

Scientists have been advocating for decades that cosmic rays are accelerated in the remnants of supernova explosions. However the MAGIC telescopes have now observed that one of the best candidates, the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, falls very short of the required energy.

MAGIC telescopes trace origin of a rare cosmic neutrino

For the first time, astrophysicists have localized the source of a high energy cosmic neutrino originating outside the Milky Way. It is highly likely that the neutrino comes from a blazar in the Orion constellation.
